In this paper, a new design for two-port transmit/ receive full-duplex microstrip patch antenna for 4G and 4G advanced communication systems is introduced. The proposed duplex antenna consists of a single gear-shaped radiating patch for bidirectional radiation. The isolation between transmit and receive ports is achieved by using frequency space filtering technique where two omega-shaped defected ground structure (DGS) based-band pass filters (BPF) are created at transmit and receive ports of the antenna. The antenna achieves a compact size of (70 × 70) $mm^2$ , high isolation larger than −36 dB at the transmit frequency $f_t = 3.3\ GHz$ and larger than −45 dB at the receive frequency $f_r = 3.215\ GHz$ , and small Tx-Rx frequency space ratio $r = 0.0245$ . Also, the proposed structure can cover the entire S-band from $2\ GHz$ to $4\ GHz$ by scaling the sizes of the omega-shaped DGSs to control the resonance frequencies of the embedded BPFs before fabrication. Furthermore, the embedded BPFs have sharp cutoff characteristics, high selectivity, and channel bandwidth of about $BW \le 790\ MHz$ at $|s_{11}| = |s_{22}| = -10dB$ . The simulation and measurement results are highly coincided.

A compact, single-layer W-band microstrip antenna for forward-looking ADAS radar in the 77–79 GHz band is presented. The 16.5 × 22 mm2 PCB element integrates a linear microstrip taper, two shorting vias, and a slot-loaded cavity to stabilize input reactance and broaden the in-band match. Full-wave simulations and launcher-based measurements using WR-12 TRL de-embedding and anechoic-chamber substitution confirm S11 ≤ −10 dB across 77–79 GHz. At 77/79 GHz, the antenna achieves end-fire realized gains of ≈9.9/≈11.2 dBi. The main beam is end-fire (peak near θ ≈ 90°), with −3 dB beamwidths of ≈36° in the θ-cut at φ = 0 (pointing ≈ 61°/56°) and ≈11.6° in the φ-cut at θ = 90°. First sidelobes are about −2.3/−2.5 dB (θ-cut) and −3.1/−3.4 dB (φ-cut). Cross-polarization is ≥18 dB below co-polarization, and the simulated radiation efficiency reaches ≈85% at 77 GHz and ≈80% at 79 GHz. A controlled thermal sweep (25–105 °C) yields < 100 MHz resonance drift while maintaining ≥ 10 dB return loss. Due to its planar architecture and clean feed integration, compact module packaging in short- to medium-range automotive radars.
